Jill Carnegie came to New York City at 18 years old. She worked for the Gap. She took 3 college classes and quit (with a 4.0 GPA!) Now, she’s quadruple times professional vegan, activist, organizer, and businesswoman.

As Campaigns Director for NYCLASS, she works to organize and take action on the street and politically to change the City policies regarding horses used for horse and carriage rides in Central Park. (She lives in the midtown neighborhood where the carriage horse stables are located and hears them going by every day.)

She’s a founder and organizer at VoNY, Vegans of New York, the largest New York City-based Facebook social group for vegans.

To support the work to protect carriage horses donate at NY CLASS (above), or Call Speaker Corey Johnson (even if you are not from NYC, you are a tourist who visits, and spends money, and cares!) and urge him to bring the NY CLASS legislation to vote.
